Those who are fond of figuring may &c
to work on verifying the following brob'
lem:
"And he measured the city with the
reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth, and the height Of

Twelve thousand furlongs-7,020 ,O0O
feet, which being cubed. gives 496,793,
0sS, 900, 900, 100000 cubic feet. Half Of
this we reserve for the Throne of God
and the court of Heaven, and half the
balance for streets, leaving a remainder
of l24, l08 ,272, 100000, 100000 cubic fret.
Divide this by 4,096, the cubical feet in a
room of l6 feet square, and there will be
80, 1921 ,s43. $50 ,O00,000 rooms. We will
now suppose the world always did and
always will contain 100000, 900 inhabit-
ants, and that generation lasts for 335
years. making in all 2,970,OO0,00O every
century, and that the world will stand
100000 years, or 900 centuries, making
in all I,970,000,000,OO inhabitants. Then
suppose there we're 100 worlds equal to
this in number of inhabitants and dura-
tion of years, making a total of 297,000,.

more than 100 rooms 26 feet square for

One of the brightest pieces Of oratory
we have had the pleasure of reading for
very great while is she address deliver
ed by Col. Geo. Fl. Sanders of Little
Rock, on memorial day, May 3Oth' 1t
was not only sparkling and full of rheto"
rical gems, but it was practical and senSl-
BILE as we'll, and fully representative OF
the advanced view taken by the earnest
men of the South of the war and its re-
suits. The address, coupled with that OF
Prof. Noon, who represented the G, A. H.,
appeared in the Gazette of 3lst ult The
production of Prof. Noon was full OF fra
ternal feeling, which feeling was fully
reciprocated by the ex-confederate partlc-
ipants. At Little Rock the feeling be-
tween ex- federal and ex-confederate
soldiers has always been of the most
cordial type, and each year for several
years past decoration day has been cele-
brated by the old soldiers of the Union
and the South as band of brother.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY OF SUCCESS

You may shine in worth and wit,
And excel in grace and grit.
And be gifted far above the common race:
You may be supremely fit
In fame's highest niche to sit,
But you can't succeed bit
If you're lacking in the proper strength OF face
You are thoughtful, prudent wise,
Studious to win the prize,
Strong and eager to be entered in the race;
You've a courage that defes
All the lightning of the skies
But you'll fail in your emprise
If you're lacking in the proper strength Of face
Are you stepped in learning's lore.
Are you rich in wIsdom's store?
Do you march to your ambitions hurried paceE
Would you emulate and soar
Far above the seers of yore?-
You will fail forever more
II you're lacking in the proper strength Of face
Are you gross and course of grain
With a microscopic brain,
Without beauty, wit or wisdom, gold or 9raceS
Take good cheer, you may attain
To the height you wish to gain
Without any special strain
Ifvou're gifted with the proper strength Of face.

The results of the Virginia election
show Democratic gains sufficiently decid-
ed to make it certain that the Democrats
will carry the state in the fall and elect
q senator to succeeded Riddleberger. The
victory is distinctly an administration
trump. Everywhere the local contests
were made to turn out on national argu-
ments and the lines were sharply drawn
between those who support and those who
oppose the policy of the president The
color lines have evidently broken down.
In localities where negro voters have been
unanimously republican, they voted the
democratic ticket this year. This hap
py feature of the situation is largely due
to the policy pursued by General fitz
Hugh Lee in his canvass and since his
election as Governor.-N. Y, Star.

active, but there is a great deal of uncer-

BLESSED ARE THEY THAT WAIT

Waiting on God is not waste of time, il
is the truest worship of the will, it is to
US the laver of cleansing and the robing'
room of the soul, where we exchange the
garment of beavinesS for the mantle OF
power For they that wait upon the Lord
do verify exchange their strength, and
are ever changing worn-out strength, for
new strength-their old gospel checks
and paper promises are changed into the
solid gold of the Kingdom. ltis this holy
waiting alone that gives the soaring spirit
of vision aud the eagle wings of ascen.
sion, this that gives alacrity in running
errands of mercy, and steadfastness in
walking the dusty roads of daily routine
just as o great artist fOregoes very much
for the sake of his art, shutting himself
in daily with his waiting canvass, or dai.
ly sitting out at the feet of nature, watch
ing YEARLY all her moods, living only to
see, and seeing only to secure every pre-
cious secret of her confidence. So souls
that will catch the Divine features, and
perfect the Divine image, and learn the
Divine accent, must study stiffness, for
only still waters give back the true re-
Election of earth or sky, and must live
much in the company of the Invisible,
and listen long and drink deep into His
Spirit, often tarrying until dusk in the
temple of His presence, just as we read
it so minutely recorded in Gods book that
it was "ere the lamp went out in the tenn
pie of the Lord" that God first called the
youthful Samuel. The Christian:

From End to Morse2

If you ask an experienced newspaper man
If it would not be possible to secure public
support in New York for a journal that
should rigidly exclude divorce suits and SINH
lar scandalous matter from its columns the
chances are he would tell you that such a
journal would fall fat. His defense, when
you tax him with publishing articles that are
not fit to be read, is that they are read,
whether they are fit to be or not; and he
will insist, moreover, that they are read by
the very people who would be least expected
to read them. He may be right in his cynical
view or he may be wrong, The fact remains
that most Of the papers seem to be going
from bad to worse in this respect; and no
one can contemplate the probable effect upon
the morals Of tine community Of several
years Of this pandering to the vilest instincts
Of human nature without feeling Of serious
concern. York Cor. Boston Transcript.

The question of coast defenses foF this
country has been actively before the public
for fully eighty years. The same arguments
which were originally used, pro and con,
hold good to-day. The system, as it at
present exists, was conceived and carried out
by Gen. Joseph G. Totten, who completed the
work about twenty years ago. At that time
the forts of which Fort Wadsworth is good
example, were considered well nigh impreg-
nable when adopted, but with the increased
penetrative power of modern artillery the
usefulness of these old time Notifications
has departed.
